Sex: An Unnatural History(2011)

Sex: An Unnatural History is a documentary series that examines five decades of Australian sexual culture following the introduction of the contraceptive pill. Presenter Julia Zemiro investigates whether the pill truly sparked a sexual revolution or if modern attitudes toward intimacy differ less dramatically from previous generations than we assume. Each episode combines historical analysis with contemporary perspectives, beginning with fundamental questions about human sexuality and monogamy. Zemiro's sharp wit and intellectual approach unpacks the cultural shifts, social attitudes, and personal freedoms that have shaped Australia's relationship with sex since the 1970s. The series challenges assumptions about sexual liberation and generational progress, offering a nuanced look at how far—or how little—society has actually evolved.
